5. Operating Instructions

Once installed, the eyecup is ready for use. Simply bring your eye to the viewfinder as usual. The extended soft silicone will provide a comfortable seal around your eye, blocking ambient light and allowing for a clearer view of your camera's display and composition.

• For Eyeglass Users: The soft silicone material is designed to be gentle on eyeglasses, preventing scratches while still providing an effective light seal.
• Flip Screen Operation: The design ensures that the camera's flip screen can be fully articulated and used without obstruction from the eyecup.

6. Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and performance of your eyecup:

• Cleaning: Wipe the silicone and ABS parts with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the surface.
• Storage: When not in use for extended periods, store the eyecup in a clean, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
• Inspection: Periodically check the eyecup for any signs of wear or damage. Replace if necessary to maintain optimal performance and protection.

7. Troubleshooting

• Eyecup feels loose: Ensure the eyecup is correctly aligned and fully clicked into place. Remove and re-install if necessary.
• Stray light still visible: Confirm the eyecup is seated flush against the viewfinder. Adjust its position to create a complete seal around your eye.
• Interference with flip screen: The DK-30 is designed not to interfere with the flip screen. If interference occurs, check for proper installation.
